Yes, find will do that. The easiest way to do that is probably with "find -cmin". It tests for the creation time of the file in minutes. find -cmin 100 # find files from exactly 100 minutes ago find -cmin -100 # find files from less than 100 minutes ago find -cmin +100 # find files from more than 100 minutes ago Depending on the situation, it might be somewhat unwieldy to use exact times - I'd probably use upper and lower bounds. -- Jim Crumley |Twin Cities Linux Users Group Mailing List (TCLUG) crumley at fields.space.umn.edu |Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota Ruthless Debian Zealot |http://www.mn-linux.org/ Never laugh at live dragons |Dmitry's free,Jon's next? http://faircopyright.org _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
